Clark,
As I originally suggested it is the CTC-7 Abington model w/wood grain photo finish on metal. The late production CTC7 Meredith model had the all black (Ebony) on metal finish. Very similar set. I believe the Meredith sold for a few dollars less and replaced the Abington as RCA's price leader model. You should post on all the color/TV forums for a CTC-7 back ie: VK. ARF, ETF classified and any others you can think of. I believe the backs were very similar for all CTC-7 models. As the back covered only the chassis portion of the cabinet which is the same width in all cabinet styles such as Phil's Pensbury. Speaker porions in lo-boy consoles were covered w/thick fiberboard. As an option, perforated metal sheets are available at most big box home centers and can be cut to match the spec. needed for your set and then painted black. Also perforated fiberboard sheets could be used.
